    Hello, everybody. I've been raised a Witness, and I've been spoon-fed
    all that stuff about 1914, no facial hair, and every other JW teaching that they talk about. I've been a bit disillusioned lately with the stuff I've found out about the Society, with some research of my own and other research from sites or sources like these. Right now all I'm asking of all you here is a non-biased, truthful telling of what really goes on in the society. Ask me questions that would not compromise my anonymity, ask me specifically what I've been taught, find out what you feel you need to ask, and we'll go from there. Hope you respond.

    Forget about Ray Franz. Why get your knowledge second hand?
    Go to the Berean Institute and get your Russell books.
    Your not allowed back till youve read them...

    LOL
    just kidding.

    I agree with ThiChi. Reading both of Ray's books is the best place to start.

    Welcome.

    How old are you? What part of what country are you really from? What has been the most horrific thing you've discovered for yourself thus far?

    Well..lets see..do you know that Rutherford HIJACKED the church after Russell died in December 1916. The corporation lawyer used the law to set himself up as supreme dictator.
    How about that for starters?

    And please dont call my postings nonsense, Yerusalyim, I scarcely post on this board,and can hardly be called controversial. Do you always attack strangers? I dont believe we have ever even spoken.
    Dont you talk to me...I dont even know who you are.

    Welcome, davey!

    How do they explain away the "new light" (which is not so new anymore) that Jesus is the mediator ONLY for the 144,000?
